Question Presented (from Petition)

Both the lower Courts ' decisions contradict cases
within its own circuit, other circuits, and this Court 's
precedent in Thacker v TVA. Please consider these
questions.

A. Does Thacker v TVA apply to a similar "sue and
be sued " body in determining Eleventh Amendment
immunity for a State's "Arm-of-the-State " corporate
entity when conducting commercial activities?

B. Does the commercial versus governmental activity
test in Thacker v TVA over ride or modify the
Eleventh Circuit's four [4] prong test in determining
Eleventh Amendment immunity for a State's "Arm-
of-the-State" corporate entity?

C. Did the Eleventh Circuit err by applying their four
prong test in the abstract and too narrowly?

Secondary Issue Questions: If the Court Pleases, for
judicial economy, please consider these questions
raised in the District and Appeals Court that Brown
faces on his journey to justice with a Florida jury.

D. Are Florida laws that impairs contracts
unconstitutional?

E. Are Florida 's limits on punitive damages
unconstitutional?

F. Are lack of pro se fee awards unconstitutional?

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Does Thacker v TVA apply to a determining Eleventh Amendment immunity for a State's 'Arm-of-the-State' corporate entity when conducting commercial activities?
